About

Mr Bhupal Chitnavis, Consultant Neurosurgeon, works within London in several private practice institutions. He is highly specialised in spinal surgery, specifically complex stabilisation, development of new instrumentation, and orthopaedic spinal surgery techniques.

Mr Chitnavis graduated from Guy's Hospital with his undergraduate medical degree, following this he went on to do specialist training in surgery at Great Ormond Street and King's College Hospital. During this time he developed a special interest in vascular neurosurgery and spinal surgery while working alongside two very skilled surgeons, Professor Anthony Strong and Dr Richard Gullan, respectively. He has also worked alongside Professor Edward Hitchcock and Professor Lindsay Simon gaining invaluable neurosurgery and neurology experience. He also undertook training abroad in Germany where he learnt orthopaedic spinal surgery methods with Professor Jurgen Harms. He carried on this orthopaedic training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in the UK.

Mr Chitnavis continues to contribute back to society by undertaking surgical charity work in developing nations. He is also an engaged teacher, training fellow surgeons on spinal and neurosurgery for the Royal College of Surgeons. He is a member of several professional organisations including the Society of British Neurosurgeons, the Independent Doctors Federation, and the CyberKnife Society.

Explanation

Dr. Chitnavis is truly the doctor's hands you want to place yourself into. I have never experienced a doctor with such an attentive nature, kind, professional, warm, detail oriented, and thorough doctor. He was incredibly re-assuring, and had the bedside manner that was above and beyond. He should be teaching a course in this as the gold standard. I'm incredibly thankful for his care, and continued due diligence.

Explanation

My experience with Dr Chitnavis completely exceeded my expectations. He acted extremely fast and went above and beyond to gather a team to treat me as soon as possible over a bank holiday weekend when it became clear it was an emergency. He explained things clearly and sincerely took my views and the views of my family into consideration throughout. Dr Chitnavis is also very kind, honest and reassuring.

Explanation

I have now seen Mr Chitnavis on two occasions and he is very measured in the information he gives a patient, as well as having a great bed side manner. We struck an immediate cord as I had worked with several of his colleagues and mentors, having been a qualified medical secretary all my life, both in the NHS and Harley St.
